Dr. Phillips safety Marcell Harris officially became the fourth straight Panthers' Under Armour All-American on Wednesday when officials dropped by the school for a presentation with Harris in front of his family, friends, coaches and teammates.

Harris, 6-foot-1, 203-pounds, joins WR Kenny Shaw (2010, now at Florida State), Ha'sean Clinton-Dix (2011, Alabama) and Trey Griffey (2012, Arizona). He will take part in the Under Armour All-American Game, which is Jan. 4, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.

"It's an honor just to be in the category with those guys ... being a selection to play in this 2013 game," Harris said. "Just being a part of this whole big Under Armour thing is just a blessing."

Dr. Phillips coach Rodney Wells said Harris might be the best player he has ever coached, and he's seen plenty of good ones.

"Here at Dr. Phillips we've been blessed to have Marcell be the fourth consecutive Under Armour All-American ... with Kenny, Ha'sean and Trey." Wells said. "It's very much earned. He's a great kid, a great player ... one of the best players if not the best player I have ever coached, and he's a better kid than he is a player."

Harris also said Wednesday that he will make his college decision known on Nov. 16. He has narrowed his scope to Florida, Texas, Florida State and Oklahoma. He has taken official visits to all four schools.

"He's a big recruit because he can do it all ... literally," Wells said of Harris, who is the No. 2-ranked player in the Sentinel's 2013 Central Florida Super60. "I see him making an impact early, wherever he signs, wherever he plays college football."

Harris said he expects to miss the next three games while sitting out with a strained knee. He hyperextended his knee while running back a kickoff against Evans last week.

If he does miss three games, that would put his return on Nov. 23, which would be the date of a second-round Class 8A playoff game should DP advance. The Panthers face Freedom for the District 6 title on Friday night, with homefield for the first round of the playoffs on the line.
